Wisconsin holds special meaning for Democrats after the 2016 election. President Trump stunned Hillary Clinton in the state, which hadn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984, and narrowly defeated Mrs. Clinton in the two other “Blue Wall” states of Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Following her defeat, party activists questioned Mrs. Clinton’s decision not to campaign in Wisconsin during the general election.

Recapturing those three states, and reconnecting with the blue-collar voters in the region who embraced the president, have been among the Democrats’ top challenges entering 2020.

Supporters of the site said holding the convention in Milwaukee would give the party a summertime megaphone to reach voters there.

Democrat Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, a member of the convention bid committee, said that “[A] lot of people feel that we lost (in 2016) because this area had been ignored – whether it’s from a political standpoint or whether it’s from a governing standpoint.”

Barnes added that Democrats choosing Milwaukee shows that the party is “ready to reinvest in the Midwest, that the Midwest matters again.”

In August, a coalition of Midwestern senators from Minnesota to Indiana to Ohio signed on to a letter to the DNC calling for a Milwaukee selection.

“Democrats have not held a convention in the Midwest since 1996, and a Milwaukee convention would send a strong message to the nation that winning America’s heartland is a priority in the 2020 election cycle and beyond,” the group of senators wrote. “Wisconsin is a state with a deep progressive and Democratic history. It is an ideal place for our party to showcase our values, priorities and agenda in our commitment to fight for everyday Americans.”

Interesting note:

With the Democrat Party fracturing among the Left, the far-Left, and the looney-Left, against the backdrop of a city not under Rule of Law but under Rule of Convenience, and buttressed by the handiness of all those Madison activists – this convention could well outperform Chicago ’68.

Let the pander-fest begin. The elitist Dumb-o-crat apparatchiks and their self-congratulatory and smug coastal supporters denigrate “flyover country” at every opportunity, but, when it comes time to round up some votes in an election year, they’ll put a plastic grin on their faces, wave an American flag, attempt to suppress their most odious and radical anti-America demagoguery, chug down a beer and pretend to be one of the peasant rabble.

“…they’ll put a plastic grin on their faces, wave an American flag, attempt to suppress their most odious and radical anti-America demagoguery, chug down a beer and pretend to be one of the peasant rabble.”

They’ll try, just as Pelosi tried with the hate resolution. Could be glorious.

Milwaukee will regret this. Although the Convention will attract some money, it will also attract thugs who will trash the place when their candidate fails to win, and others (black bloc, antifa) who will trash the place just because that’s what they do.

The City of Milwaukee lacks the will to prevent this; police will be ordered to stand down, lest forcefully preventing political street violence produce bad optics and/or unflattering videos.

Comrade Sanders’ and the rest of the Dumb-o-crats’ contemptible and feckless rationalizations and whitewashing of Maduro’s dictatorship and its horrific consequences, combined with vile Omar’s blatant Jew-hatred, and, the Dumb-o-crats’ similarly contemptible and feckless kowtowing to Islamic supremacism and Jew-hatred, in being unable to unequivocally and unambiguously condemn Jew-hatred in the Party’s ranks, will cost these reprobates the Florida vote, in the 2020 presidential election. At least, that is my fervent hope.
